Wow is right! thats scary, glad you only lost things,
I know its hard to forget what has happened because when I was there last April while riding a scooter back from the Red Dragon, a young man 20ish standing at his house along that road yelled to me " I'll rob you! "
I just smiled at him and kept going,
it didn't sink in what he had said til I got a little bit down the road as avoiding the pot holes took all my concentration, it was on my mind for the rest of the trip
my wife and I went into what we call "Jack Reacher mode" right after that, meaning being totally observant of your surroundings.still had a great time though.
I know most Jamaicans are not like him and it can happen anywhere and on the lighter side tell your wife she must have nice taste in shoes...
